idea. >> the "wall street journal" editorial board summed up how short on detail romney's speech actually was, writing quote, energy got one sentence, education scored big with two, neil armstrong received almost as much speech time as what mr. romney would do specifically to spur faster growth and raise middle class incomes. so overall, how did it play? did romney pick up the vaunted big mo heading into the locker room? according to a new gallup poll out today, 40% of voters are more likely to support romney following the convention while 38% say they are less likely. that 2% net bump is the lowest since gallup began asking the question in 1984. back in 2008, john mccain received a 5% net bump while obama scored a 14% increase. so much for the real and visible bump rnc chairman reince priebus predicted. what did get a real and visible bump during the convention? president obama's twitter feed. this was the most retweeted message during the entire republican convention. it was from barack obama's account and it read "this seat's taken." it was retweeted over 52,000 times. the significance

what was interesting to me is the speech, the speech writers, mitt romney tried to in effect write obama out of the main stream of bipartisan foreign policy thought in the last 50 years. they did that effectively. the most important argue in the the speech from my point of view is that the passivity we have shown in response to what happened in libya is prism on which we can, through which we can look at the entirety of barack obama's foreign policy measure. of refusal to step forward and lead in a way that has been the american tradition. >> the speech as message device is good for romney. terrific debater. good at giving speeches. not so great on the stump. i do think he should have done it sooner. >> it shows swing voters february you don't put any meat on the bone of your policy plans that it looks like you are. while i agree with the criticism that, you know, iran is closer to a nuclear program the middle east is deteriorating. al-qaeda remains strong. syria is a de stating disaster. i actually don't think he really you drew a contrast how he would get us out of the situation. to sa

i think the story of the romney speech, as he moved to the middle and tried to win the general, it wasn't that different in the obama policy. the debate on thursday night, ryan and biden were hard to explain their differences on syria. however, romney has the advantage. he can point to the obama administration leg diplomats get killed. he can say, look, what obama is doing schblt working very well. in terms of simply judging the incumbent whether successful or not, that is good thing for the challenger to say. >> jon: for instance in the denver debate when he said something about israel, one of our strongest allies in that part of the world. who would be stronger than israel? >> at the moment you have a problem for the republicans because on the ground, people will tell you that intelligence cooperation between israel and the united states is the strongest and best it's ever been. president has a different view from benjamin netanyahu in american security interests in the region and he doesn't think in stopping and being capable of getting a bomb is the standard he wants to adopt. romney

romney's speech was as vanilla as the stuff on is ipod. he did no harm. the standouts turned out to be the women as well as non-caw non-caucasians. if this convention is remembered beyond clint eastwood transporting us into an episode of twin peeks, it's that the republicans are starting to look less and less like a maniacally grinning newt. >> so andrea, i want to know. i didn't see you at all this trip. what were you doing? >> that's not true. by the way, we dangled doughnuts in front of bob's face to get him on the set every day. i can't go after occupy wall street for the doughnut dangling stuff. your point on embassy suites, they went above and beyond, carmen, al, lynn, marissa, rob, the general manager, ali and david, you guys are awesome. i'm sorry if i left anyone out. they went above and beyond to accommodate us. they always had a smile on their face which is tough working those long hours, so thank you so much. >> especially the messes that you left in your hotel room and what they had to deal with. how you got a goat in there, i'll never know.
